“Wet days” have at least 0.01" of rain or melted snow. “Snow on ground” counts days with 1" or more. The 30-year range is the coldest and warmest that month’s average temperature got between 1991 and 2020.
Rain and snow in Gu-Win
Gu-Win gets 61 inches of rain and melted snow a year. December is the wettest month and September the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 113 days a year.
About 211 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by April 4 and the first one by November 1. That leaves about 211 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 79% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Gu-Win
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Gu-Win, 65% of that work is heating and 35% is cooling.
Degree days measure how far each day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°, added up over a year. Source: NOAA station normals.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Gu-Win itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Winfield 2 Sw, AL (3 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
